\section{Convergence results}\r
\label{sec:04}\r
\r
+%%NEW\r
+\r
+\r
+We suppose in this section that GMRES($m$) is used as solver in the TSIRM algorithm applied on a complex matrix $A$.\r
+Let us denote $A^\ast$ the conjugate transpose of $A$, and let $\mathfrak{R}(A)=\dfrac{1}{2} \left( A + A^\ast\right)$, $\mathfrak{I}(A)=\dfrac{1}{2i} \left( A - A^\ast\right)$. \r
+\r
+\subsection{$\mathfrak{R}(A)$ is positive}\r
+\r
+\begin{proposition}\r
+\label{positiveConvergent}\r
+If $\mathfrak{R}(A)$ is positive, then the TSIRM algorithm is convergent.\r
+\end{proposition}\r
+\r
+\r
+\begin{proof}\r
+If $\mathfrak{R}(A)$ is positive, then even if $A$ is complex, it is possible to state that \r
+the GMRES algorithm is convergent, see, \emph{e.g.},~\cite{Huang89}. In particular, its residual norm\r
+decreases to zero.\r
+\r
+At each iterate of the TSIRM algorithm, either a GMRES iteration is realized or a least square\r
+resolution (to find the minimum of $||b-Ax||_2$ is achieved on the linear span of the iterated approximation vectors \r
+$span\left(x_{k-s+1}, x_{k-s}+2, \hdots, x_{k} \right)$\r
+of the last GMRES stage,\r
+where\r
+$\operatorname{span}(S) = \left \{ {\sum_{i=1}^k \lambda_i v_i \Big| k \in \mathbb{N}, v_i \in S, \lambda _i \in \mathbb{R}} \right \}$.\r
+\r
+Obviously, the minimum of $||b-Ax||_2$ on the set $span\left(x_{k-s+1}, x_{k-s}+2, \hdots, x_{k} \right)$ \r
+is lower than or equal to $||b-Ax_k||_2$, which is the last obtained GMRES-residual norm. So we can\r
+conclude that the intermediate stage of least square resolution inserted into the GMRES algorithm\r
+does not break the decreasing to zero of the GMRES-residual norm. \r
+\r
+In other words, the TSIRM algorithm is convergent.\r
+\end{proof}\r
+\r
\r
-We can now claim that,\r
+Regarding the convergence speed, we can claim that,\r
\begin{proposition}\r
\label{prop:saad}\r
-If $A$ is either a definite positive or a positive matrix and GMRES($m$) is used as a solver, then the TSIRM algorithm is convergent. \r
+If $A$ is a positive matrix, then the convergence of the \r
+TSIRM algorithm is linear. \r
\r
-Furthermore, let $r_k$ be the\r
-$k$-th residue of TSIRM, then\r
+Furthermore, let $r_k$ be the $k$-th residue of TSIRM, then\r
we have the following boundaries:\r
-\begin{itemize}\r
-\item when $A$ is positive:\r
\begin{equation}\r
||r_k|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0|| ,\r
\end{equation}\r
-where $M$ is the symmetric part of $A$, $\alpha = \lambda_{min}(M)^2$ and $\beta = \lambda_{max}(A^T A)$;\r
-\item when $A$ is positive definite:\r
-\begin{equation}\r
-\|r_k\| \leq \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{km/2} \|r_0\|.\r
-\end{equation}\r
-\end{itemize}\r
-%In the general case, where A is not positive definite, we have\r
-%$\|r_n\| \le \inf_{p \in P_n} \|p(A)\| \le \kappa_2(V) \inf_{p \in P_n} \max_{\lambda \in \sigma(A)} |p(\lambda)| \|r_0\|, .$\r
+where $M$ is the symmetric part of $A$, $\alpha = \lambda_{min}(M)^2$ and $\beta = \lambda_{max}(A^T A)$.\r
\end{proposition}\r
\r
\begin{proof}\r
-Let us first recall that the residue is under control when considering the GMRES algorithm on a positive definite matrix, and it is bounded as follows:\r
-\begin{equation*}\r
-\|r_k\| \leq \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{k/2} \|r_0\| .\r
-\end{equation*}\r
-Additionally, when $A$ is a positive real matrix with symmetric part $M$, then the residual norm provided at the $m$-th step of GMRES satisfies:\r
+Let us first recall that, when $A$ is a positive real matrix with symmetric part $M$, then the residual norm provided at the $m$-th step of GMRES satisfies:\r
\begin{equation*}\r
||r_m|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}} ||r_0|| ,\r
\end{equation*}\r
-where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are defined as in Proposition~\ref{prop:saad}, which proves \r
-the convergence of GMRES($m$) for all $m$ under such assumptions regarding $A$.\r
+where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are defined as in Proposition~\ref{prop:saad}.\r
These well-known results can be found, \emph{e.g.}, in~\cite{Saad86}.\r
\r
We will now prove by a mathematical induction that, for each $k \in \mathbb{N}^\ast$, \r
-$||r_k|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{mk}{2}} ||r_0||$ when $A$ is positive, and $\|r_k\| \leq \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{km/2} \|r_0\|$ when $A$ is positive definite.\r
+$||r_k|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{mk}{2}} ||r_0||$ when $A$ is positive.\r
\r
The base case is obvious, as for $k=1$, the TSIRM algorithm simply consists in applying GMRES($m$) once, leading to a new residual $r_1$ that follows the inductive hypothesis due to the results recalled above.\r
\r
-Suppose now that the claim holds for all $m=1, 2, \hdots, k-1$, that is, $\forall m \in \{1,2,\hdots, k-1\}$, $||r_m|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0||$ in the positive case, and $\|r_k\| \leq \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{km/2} \|r_0\|$ in the definite positive one.\r
+Suppose now that the claim holds for all $m=1, 2, \hdots, k-1$, that is, $\forall m \in \{1,2,\hdots, k-1\}$, $||r_m|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0||$.\r
We will show that the statement holds too for $r_k$. Two situations can occur:\r
\begin{itemize}\r
-\item If $k \not\equiv 0 ~(\textrm{mod}\ m)$, then the TSIRM algorithm consists in executing GMRES once. In that case and by using the inductive hypothesis, we obtain either $||r_k|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}} ||r_{k-1}||\leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0||$ if $A$ is positive, or $\|r_k\| \leqslant \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{m/2} \|r_{k-1}\|$ $\leqslant$ $\left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{km/2} \|r_{0}\|$ in the positive definite case.\r
+\item If $k \not\equiv 0 ~(\textrm{mod}\ m)$, then the TSIRM algorithm consists in executing GMRES once. In that case and by using the inductive hypothesis, we obtain either $||r_k|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}} ||r_{k-1}||\leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0||$.\r
\item Else, the TSIRM algorithm consists in two stages: a first GMRES($m$) execution leads to a temporary $x_k$ whose residue satisfies:\r
-\begin{itemize}\r
-\item $||r_k|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}} ||r_{k-1}||\leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0||$ in the positive case, \r
-\item $\|r_k\| \leqslant \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{m/2} \|r_{k-1}\|$ $\leqslant$ $\left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{km/2} \|r_{0}\|$ in the positive definite one,\r
-\end{itemize}\r
+$$||r_k|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}} ||r_{k-1}||\leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0||$$\r
and a least squares resolution.\r
Let $\operatorname{span}(S) = \left \{ {\sum_{i=1}^k \lambda_i v_i \Big| k \in \mathbb{N}, v_i \in S, \lambda _i \in \mathbb{R}} \right \}$ be the linear span of a set of real vectors $S$. So,\\\r
$\min_{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}^s} ||b-R\alpha ||_2 = \min_{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}^s} ||b-AS\alpha ||_2$\r
& \leqslant \min_{\lambda \in \mathbb{R}} ||b-\lambda Ax_{k} ||_2\\\r
& \leqslant ||b-Ax_{k}||_2\\\r
& = ||r_k||_2\\\r
-& \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0||, \textrm{ if $A$ is positive,}\\\r
-& \leqslant \left( 1-\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{min}}^2(1/2(A^T + A))}{ \lambda_{\mathrm{max}}(A^T A)} \right)^{km/2} \|r_{0}\|, \textrm{ if $A$ is}\\\r
-& \textrm{positive definite,} \r
+& \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)^{\frac{km}{2}} ||r_0||, \\\r
\end{array}$\r
\end{itemize}\r
which concludes the induction and the proof.\r
\end{proof}\r
\r
+\r
+\r
+\subsection{$\mathfrak{R}(A)$ is positive definite}\r
+\r
+\begin{proposition}\r
+\label{prop2}\r
+Convergence of the TSIRM algorithm is at least linear when $\mathfrak{R}(A)$ is \r
+positive definite. Furthermore, the rate of convergence is lower \r
+than $$\min\left( \left(1- \dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{ \lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} \lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} + {\lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{I}(A)}}^2}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}}; \r
+\left(1-\dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{||A||^2}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}}\right) ,$$\r
+where ${\lambda_{min}^{X}}$ (resp. ${\lambda_{max}^{X}}$) is the lowest (resp. largest) eigenvalue of matrix $X$.\r
+\end{proposition}\r
+\r
+\r
+\begin{proof}\r
+If $\mathfrak{R}(A)$ is positive definite, then it is positive, and so the TSIRM algorithm\r
+is convergent due to Proposition~\ref{positiveConvergent}.\r
+\r
+Furthermore, as stated in the proof of Proposition~\ref{positiveConvergent}, the GMRES residue is under control \r
+when $\mathfrak{R}(A)$ is positive. More precisely, it has been proven in the literature that the residual norm \r
+provided at the $m$-th step of GMRES satisfies:\r
+\begin{enumerate}\r
+\item $||r_m|| \leqslant \left(1- \dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{ \lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} \lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} + {\lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{I}(A)}}^2}\right)^{\frac{mk}{2}} ||r_0||$, see, \emph{e.g.},~\cite{citeulike:2951999}, \r
+\item $||r_m|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{||A||^2}\right)^{\frac{mk}{2}} ||r_0||$, see~\cite{ANU:137201},\r
+\end{enumerate}\r
+which proves the convergence of GMRES($m$) for all $m$ under such assumptions regarding $A$.\r
+\r
+We will now prove by a mathematical induction, and following the same canvas than in the proof of Prop.~\ref{positiveConvergent}, that: for each $k \in \mathbb{N}^\ast$, the TSIRM-residual norm satisfies\r
+\begin{equation}\r
+\label{induc}\r
+\begin{array}{ll}\r
+||r_k|| \leqslant & \min\left( \left(1- \dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{ \lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} \lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} + {\lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{I}(A)}}^2}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}}; \right. \\\r
+& \left. \left(1-\dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{||A||^2}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}}\right) ||r_0||\r
+\end{array}\r
+\end{equation}\r
+when $A$ is positive definite.\r
+\r
+\r
+The base case is obvious, as for $k=1$, the TSIRM algorithm simply consists in applying GMRES($m$) once, leading to a new residual $r_1$ that follows the inductive hypothesis due to the results recalled in the items listed above.\r
+\r
+Suppose now that the claim holds for all $u=1, 2, \hdots, k-1$, that is, $\forall u \in \{1,2,\hdots, k-1\}$, $||r_u|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{||A||^2}\right)^{\frac{mu}{2}} ||r_0||$.\r
+We will show that the statement holds too for $r_k$. Two situations can occur:\r
+\begin{itemize}\r
+\item If $k \not\equiv 0 ~(\textrm{mod}\ m)$, then the TSIRM algorithm consists in executing GMRES once. In that case and by using the inductive hypothesis, we obtain \r
+$||r_k|| \leqslant \left(1- \dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{ \lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} \lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} + {\lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{I}(A)}}^2}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}} \leqslant \left(1- \dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{ \lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} \lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} + {\lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{I}(A)}}^2}\right)^{\frac{mk}{2}} ||r_0||$, due to~\cite{citeulike:2951999}. Furthermore, we have too that: $||r_k|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{||A||^2}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}} ||r_{k-1}|| \leqslant \left(1-\dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{||A||^2}\right)^{\frac{mk}{2}} ||r_0||$, as proven in~\cite{ANU:137201} and by using the inductive hypothesis. So we can conclude that \r
+$$\begin{array}{ll}||r_k|| \leqslant & \min\left( \left(1- \dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{ \lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} \lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} + {\lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{I}(A)}}^2}\right)^{\frac{mk}{2}}; \right. \\\r
+& \left. \left(1-\dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{||A||^2}\right)^{\frac{mk}{2}}\right) \times ||r_0|| \r
+\end{array}.$$\r
+\r
+\item Else, the TSIRM algorithm consists in two stages: a first GMRES($m$) execution leads to a temporary $x_k$ whose residue satisfies, following the previous item:\r
+$$\begin{array}{ll}\r
+||r_k|| & \leqslant \min\left( \left(1- \dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{ \lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} \lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} + {\lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{I}(A)}}^2}\right)^{\frac{m}{2}}; \right. \\\r

+& \left. \left(1-\dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{||A||^2}\right)^{\frac{mk}{2}}\right) \times ||r_0|| \r
+\end{array}$$\r
+and the least squares resolution of $\min_{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}^s} ||b-R\alpha ||_2$.\r
+\r
+Let $\operatorname{span}(S) = \left \{ {\sum_{i=1}^k \lambda_i v_i \Big| k \in \mathbb{N}, v_i \in S, \lambda _i \in \mathbb{R}} \right \}$ be the linear span of a set of real vectors $S$, as defined previously. So,\\\r
+$\min_{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}^s} ||b-R\alpha ||_2 = \min_{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}^s} ||b-AS\alpha ||_2$\r
+\r
+$\begin{array}{ll}\r
+& = \min_{x \in span\left(S_{k-s+1}, S_{k-s+2}, \hdots, S_{k} \right)} ||b-AS\alpha ||_2\\\r
+& = \min_{x \in span\left(x_{k-s+1}, x_{k-s}+2, \hdots, x_{k} \right)} ||b-AS\alpha ||_2\\\r
+& \leqslant \min_{x \in span\left( x_{k} \right)} ||b-Ax ||_2\\\r
+& \leqslant \min_{\lambda \in \mathbb{R}} ||b-\lambda Ax_{k} ||_2\\\r
+& \leqslant ||b-Ax_{k}||_2\\\r
+& = ||r_k||_2\\\r
+& \leqslant \min\left( \left(1- \dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{ \lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} \lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)} + {\lambda_{max}^{\mathfrak{I}(A)}}^2}\right)^{\frac{mk}{2}}; \right. \\\r
+& \left. \left(1-\dfrac{{\lambda_{min}^{\mathfrak{R}(A)}}^2}{||A||^2}\right)^{\frac{mk}{2}}\right) \times ||r_0|| \r
+\end{array} .$\r
+\end{itemize}\r
+due to the inductive hypothesis. \r
+So the statement of Equation~\eqref{induc} holds too for the $k$-th iterate, which concludes the induction and the proof.\r
+\end{proof}\r
+\r
+\subsection{A last linear convergence}\r
+\r
+\r
+\begin{proposition}\r
+Let us define the field of values of $A$ by \r
+$$\mathfrak{F}(A) = \left\{ \dfrac{x^\ast A x}{x^\ast x}, x \in \mathds{C}^n\setminus \{0\} \right\} .$$\r
+\r
+Then if $\mathfrak{F}(A)$ is included into a closed ball of radius $r$ and center $c$,\r
+which does not contain the origin, then the convergence of the TSIRM algorithm is at least linear. \r
+\r
+More precisely, the rate of convergence is lower \r
+than $2 \dfrac{r}{|c|}$.\r
+\end{proposition}\r
+\r
+\begin{proof}\r
+This inequality comes from the fact that, in the conditions of the proposition, the GMRES residue \r
+satisfies the inequality: $|r_k| \leqslant 2 \dfrac{r}{|c|}^k |r_0|$. An induction inspired by\r
+the proofs of Propositions~\ref{prop:saad} and~\ref{prop2} can transfer this inequality to the\r
+TSIRM residue.\r
+\end{proof}\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
Remark that a similar proposition can be formulated at each time\r
the given solver satisfies an inequality of the form $||r_n|| \leqslant \mu^n ||r_0||$,\r
with $|\mu|<1$. Furthermore, it is \emph{a priori} possible in some particular cases \r
regarding $A$, \r
that the proposed TSIRM converges while the GMRES($m$) does not.\r

+\subsection{Parallel nonlinear problems}\r
+\r
+With PETSc, linear solvers are used inside nonlinear solvers. The SNES\r
+(Scalable Nonlinear Equations Solvers) module in PETSc implements easy to use\r
+methods, like Newton-type, quasi-Newton or full approximation scheme (FAS)\r
+multigrid to solve systems of nonlinears equations. As SNES is based on the\r
+Krylov methods of PETSc, it is interesting to investigate if the TSIRM method is\r
+also efficient and scalable with non linear problems. In PETSc, some examples\r
+are provided. An important criteria is the scalability of the initial code with\r
+classical solvers. Consequently, we have chosen two of these examples: ex14 and\r
+ex20. In ex14, the code solves the Bratu (SFI - solid fuel ignition) nonlinear\r
+partial difference equations in 3 dimension. In ex20, the code solves a 3\r
+dimension radiative transport test problem. For more details on these examples,\r
+interested readers are invited to see the code in the PETSc examples. For both\r
+these examples, a weak scaling case is chosen where processors have\r
+approximately a number of components equals to 100,000.\r
+\r
+In Table~\ref{tab:07} we report the result of our experiments for the example\r
+ex14 with the block Jacobi preconditioner. For TSIRM the CGLS algorithm is used\r
+to solve the minimization step. In this table, we can see that the number of\r
+iterations used by the linear solver is smaller with TSIRM compared with FGMRES.\r
+Consequently the execution times are smaller with TSIRM. The gain between TSIRM\r
+and FGMRES is around 6 and 7. The parameters of TSIRM are expressed in the\r
+caption of the table.\r

+\subsection{Influence of parameters for TSIRM}\r
+In this section we present some experimental results in order to study the influence of some parameters on the TSIRM algorithm. We conducted experiments on $16$ cores to solve 3D problems of size $200,000$ components per core. We solved nonlinear problems token from examples of PETSc. We fixed some parameters of the TSIRM algorithm as follows: the nonlinear systems are solved with a precision of $10^{-8}$, block Jacobi preconditioner is used, the tolerance threshold $\epsilon_{tsirm}$ is $10^{-8}$ , the maximum number of iterations $max\_iter_{tsirm}$ is set to $10,000$ iterations, the FGMRES method is used as the inner solver with a tolerance threshold $\epsilon_{kryl}=10^{-10}$ and the least-squares problem is solved with a precision $\epsilon_{ls}=10^{-40}$ in the minimization process.\r

-A new two-stage iterative algorithm TSIRM has been proposed in this article,\r
-in order to accelerate the convergence of Krylov iterative methods.\r
-Our TSIRM proposal acts as a merger between Krylov based solvers and\r
-a least-squares minimization step.\r
-The convergence of the method has been proven in some situations, while \r
-experiments up to 16,394 cores have been led to verify that TSIRM runs\r
-5 or 7 times faster than GMRES.\r
+%%NEW\r
+In this paper a new two-stage algorithm TSIRM has been described. This method allows us to improve the convergence of Krylov iterative methods. It is based\r
+on a least-squares minimization step which uses the Krylov residuals.\r
+\r
\r
+We have implemented our code in PETSc in order to show that it is efficient and scalable. Some experiments with classical examples of PETSc for linear and nonlinear problems have been performed. We observed that TSIRM outperforms GMRES variants when the number of iterations is large. TSIRM is also scalable since we made some experiments with up to 16,394 cores.\r
\r
-For future work, the authors' intention is to investigate other kinds of\r
-matrices, problems, and inner solvers. In particular, the possibility \r
-to obtain a convergence of TSIRM in situations where the GMRES is divergent will be\r
-investigated. The influence of all parameters must be\r
-tested too, while other methods to minimize the residuals must be regarded. The\r
-number of outer iterations to minimize should become adaptive to improve the\r
-overall performances of the proposal. Finally, this solver will be implemented\r
-inside PETSc, which would be of interest as it would allows us to test\r
-all the non-linear examples and compare our algorithm with the other algorithm\r
-implemented in PETSc.\r
+We also observed that TSIRM is efficient with different preconditioners. The hypre preconditioner that is globally very efficient for many problems is also very time consuming. Consequently, sometimes using a less performent preconditioners may be a better solution. In that case, TSIRM is also more efficient than traditional Krylov methods.\r
\r
+{\bf A CHECKER !!}\r
+The influence of some important parameters of TSIRM have been studied. It can be noticed that they have a strong influence on the convergence speed\r
\r
-% conference papers do not normally have an appendix\r
+In future works, we plan to study other problems coming from different research areas. Other efficient Krylov optimisation methods as communication avoiding technique may be interesting to be investigated\r
